Everything Online Has To Be Scam… Right?

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

Everywhere You Look A New Scam Is Popping Up

I spend some time trolling all the different watchdog websites… They are full of disgruntled people that say everything is a scam..

…Seriously

It’s like until your company is called a scam your not even legitimate yet. Over the years I have seen the word scam used every time “someone” doesn’t understand what is happening.

I suppose it’s easy to blame someone else or somebody else instead of taking personal responsibility for ones own part in the whole thing.

The Fine Line Between Something Being A Scam And Something Being Legitimate

How do you know the difference? You can learn a lot about a company simply by typing their name and and the word scam in a search bar.

You will quickly realize that practically every business online that is in the “make money on the internet niche”. Has boatloads of people calling X business a scam.

…Keep Digging Though,

Type in company name and lawsuit, sued, fraud etc.. Also type in the product owners name and see what dirt you can dig up.

The reality folks is real scams don’t last that long simply because they get shut down fast. And the louder a company is and more transparent they are, the less likely they are a scam.

Mostly though, it’s your responsibility to always read the Terms Of Service…

…If I had a dollar for every person that felt they got ripped off and didn’t read the terms of service I would be a rich, rich man.

The Absolute Best Way To Avoid Getting Involved With A Scam

Be very careful of joining stuff where how much you can make is talked more about than what you are actually buying.

Ask to see peoples results…

Find out all you can about the product before you purchase it. The allure of money and making a fast buck is so overwhelming for people that they almost hypnotically just start spending money without thinking first.

…Always stop for a moment and really think if what you are about to get involved with makes sense on a logical level.

And above all if it sounds to good to be true, more than likely your gut instincts are right.

Team Inspire Training Notes - I created this blog post, not with the idea that I would go after search engine rankings. I wanted to do a video to show you how to use pictures, also I wanted to meet my core commitment requirement. Why? Because every time I do a blog post I know google will come back to index me and look at my pages again :)  Google Loves when you update your blog regularly

=> Team Inspire you will be able to find the video training in our training site and our private Facebook group.
